    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Yes, Lazarus was dead, Jesus qualified it in John 11:13-14....read the whole story in John 11:1-44 Giuliano...I cannot believe your ignorance on this matter. In the first instance Jesus is talking of a believer who has died. Vs 25 + 26....here Jesus is using the word 'dead' and 'die' in the...

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    The promises of God are contingent to obedience as the text says.....this has always been the case.....it is not about to change. If Israel referred to in your quotes is solely geographical Israel, ie literal descendants of Jacob then we will see the what transpires. At the present their...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    The word 'sleep' is used as death as we understand it now. 'Sleep' is used because all will be resurrected at some stage. 'Death' in the final sense of the word for the wicked will occur after the final judgement. Scripture refers to this as the 'second death' Those resurrected to eternal life...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Your logic is muddled Giuliano. There is no consciousness in death. The scripture is unequivocal about that. Your view assumes the dead are not dead......herein is a fatal error which seeks to justify itself. Deception always has an element of truth.....that's how the shenanigans are pulled...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    This is the context....the scripture says it was Samuel because Saul thought it was Samuel...... Because Saul thought it was Samuel didn't make it Samuel. again.....context is critical......without it one can make pigs fly.

    Did Jesus have faith ?

    john t.....I am neither annoyed or complaining. What I am doing is pointing out the situation.....and in regards to answering the question which you say I haven't answered I would say.....you haven't heard my answer. Truth is truth even if it comes from and ass....in fact, God uses 'asses' a...

    Where does the Bible say?

    I Corinthians 3:15 is referring to those who's 'theology' is in error yet who's hearts are in the right place. The reference to fire is the destruction of an inaccurate understanding through a late awareness of their error ie, what is happening externally is not according to their...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    What Saul saw was an apparition....a manifestation of a demon masquerading as Samuel.....the scripture is clear on that....that is why Israel was forbidden to have anything to do with wizards, soothsayers, diviners or those who claim to conjure up the dead on pain of death.

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    ..... There are many who become restless when they cannot know the definite outcome of affairs. They cannot endure uncertainty, and in their impatience they refuse to wait to see the salvation of God. Apprehended evils drive them nearly distracted. They give way to their rebellious feelings, and...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    “The Hebrews were expressly forbidden to engage in any manner in pretended communion with the dead. God closed this door effectually when He said: “The dead know not anything.... Neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6. “His...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Nearly all forms of ancient sorcery and witchcraft were founded upon a belief in communion with the dead. Those who practiced the arts of necromancy claimed to have intercourse with departed spirits, and to obtain through them a knowledge of future events. This custom of consulting the dead is...

    Hello Ragamuffins, Wayfarers, Pilgrims, Bean Counters, Shoe Shiners and any who don't fit these descriptions....Reading these three and a half pages yesterday from the book 'Patriachs and Prophets' chapter 67, Ancient and Modern Sorcery.... I thought it was well presented and would like to share...

    Where does the Bible say?

    If you're interpreting Hidden In Him's post, you have it wrong.....it means get your head out of where the sun don't shine and get informed.

    Did Jesus have faith ?

    Do you know how many times I've been asked that john t?.....anyway, what's that got to do with anything? You wanna know what I am? ....a member of the human family. Which club do I belong to? .... the one that takes a breath every few seconds or so. You want to know which box you can put me...

    Daniel 2:44!

    You speak in ignorance. Context, if I might remind you of something you should know determines the truth of anything. Without context you can make anything say anything otherwise I might ask you, where does the bible say you have to do up shoelaces or stop at red lights?

    Daniel 2:44!

    What you are saying here is historical nonsense. In fact, it goes beyond nonsense and is an outright lie.
